Proof66 Notes

Wigle Deep Cut rye is in reference to the center cuts taken in the small-batch distillation process common in copper pot stills. The "deeper" the cut, the more of the distillate is discarded (the "heads" and "tails" of the batch). The rye grain itself is certified USDA organic and said to be a local heirloom grain.

It is bottled at cask strength and, we presume, in the Pennsylvania style meaning it will be next to 100% pure rye grain not softened by any wheat, corn, or other grain. The aging is done in small 10-15 gallon barrels (the more common size is 53 gallons). They warn that this is not an introductory whiskey.

Pittsburgh Distilling Company was founded by Mark Meyer, daughter Meredith Grelli and son/distiller Eric Meyer . The name Wigle comes from Phillip Wigle, who was the man sentenced to hang and so brought about the Whiskey Rebellion in the very early days of the country's founding.They use locally grown organic grain for their products and are a grain-to-glass distillery in the sense that they oversee every aspect of the spirit's production.
